6 Ft Over Chokes Again

6 Ft Over suffered a humiliating defeat at the Helen G. Nassif YMCA Tuesday evening. Rarely does 6 Ft Over matchup against a less talented squad but that was the case against Team Rush. Somehow Team Rush was able to pull out a 3 point win despite trailing by double digits in the 1st half.

Tuesday’s defeat was particularly demoralizing because Team Rush spent most of the game throwing wild, cross court baseball passes that were easily intercepted by 6 Ft Over defenders. Despite a huge advantage in the turnover battle 6 Ft Over converted on very few scoring opportunities.

Nick Hach posted the majority of his team’s points in the contest. He watched from the low block helplessly as his teammates shot a woeful 17% from the floor.

“I’m looking forward to the Aegon competitive league when I can play against instead of with these fools,” the frustrated post-man commented.

Hach also provided the game’s shining moment in the 2nd half. While steaming down the middle of the lane like a locomotive he caught a brave defender in the eye with his elbow. After the bucket was scored and play moved towards the other end that brave defender staggered up the court with blood pouring out of a gash above his left eye.

The bloodied defender took it all in stride and proved that he was as tough as his MMA “Tapout” shirt suggested he was. His teammates then rallied behind him while he had his eye tended to. A massive player on the opposing team who resembled King Kong Bundy started draining 3’s and fade-away jumpers and suddenly Team Rush led late in the game.

Despite the piss poor performance 6 Ft Over was in the game down to the last minute. Reiners left a wide open 3 short that would have put his team up 1. After regaining possession Hach missed a 3 that would have tied the game. Hasenmiller then took his turn and missed a 3 to tie before the clock ran out.

Next week expect 6 Ft Over to be pasted by Team Barta by 25 ½ points. The season has turned ugly.
